By July, Publishing Partner Professinal was very much behind
schedule (at least 6 months). SoftLogik did an informal poll and the
response was that most people wanted SoftLogik to ship PP Professinal
immediately, eventhough the product was far from finished. What we all
received is a VERY VERY unfinished product. The problem was that SoftLogik
didn't make that clear in the package that we all received.
Yes, the program we received is almost totally useless. The final
product should ship within one month. With regard to the fonts, there will
be altogether 6 fonts and specific printer drivers. What we see in the
diskette we received are generic printer drivers. Hopefully, the final
package will be as good as promised. And the full manual will be sent
when the final product is ready to go. We just have to keep our fingers
crossed for now. What I don't understand is how this product got to be
7 months late and is still unfinished.
